My main concern about Willie Lampkin at this point is that the Rams try to sneak him on PS and he gets stolen. Every time I see his tape it's lights out.

"Low man wins the leverage battle", so who cares if he's 5'11"-- he's got long arms and is a great athlete who dominates. Really think he could be Rams starting center in 2026.

Gonna be a tough numbers game on OL. Starting five are locks in AJ, Avila, Shelton, Dotson, and Hav. Given AJ's precarious health status I'd think that both backup OT's make it in Humphries and Quessenbury. So that's seven right there.

On IOL a fight between Limmer, Lampkin, Dedich, and McMahon. At OT a fight between McClendon, Leveston, and Acuri.

Just too many talented players and not enough spots! One way or another, I hope the Rams protect Lampkin, he has the potential to be special.

I don't see a way the Rams DONT keep six receivers.....I think that is foregone.

Mumpfield not a disappointment. Hype or not the guy is a 7th round pick playing with backups.

Hamilton not a disappointment either. I mid round pick has a lot of learning and adjusting to do.

Hate to tell ya.....but, Reeder didn't play either....

They know EXACTLY what they have with Reeder. They need to evaluate other players.

Who are your 10 OL?

Which TE doesn't make it? I'm seeing 4 TE.

Could be 4TE/9OL but I’m saying:
OL. (10)
AJax/Avilla/Shelton/Dotson/Hav
Humphries/Dedich/Limmer or Lampkin/Leveston/QBerry or McClelland
TE (3)
Higs/Ferguson/Park or Allen

The OL is tough to figure out right now. Word is that McClendan was taking snaps at LT over Humphries for the last week or two. So amongst the OTs I'm not sure who's in the lead.

On the interior, all four of Limmer, Dedich, Lampkin, and Leveston seem to be doing well. It's hard to see only two of them making it.

On the TEs, Ferguson is likely 4th on the depth chart, but he's safe of course as this year's 2nd round pick. Parkinson is getting 2nd string snaps and Davis is reportedly one of the stars of TC. Maybe they trade one?

100% and this doesn't guarantee his spot, although it is likely secure to begin the season

Yes and it's a plus for the QB to see over.

For TEs I could see a path where they keep all 4. I didn’t see a lot from Park last year and I think cutting him saves decent $$$ but Allen would need to beat him Out. And he hasn’t done so yet. For OL I just feel Lampkin could be a starting OC next year and I want decent depth in case of injuries this year so I’m pulling to keep 10. But I’m just a fan without a solid plan.

Yes, this is what I recall, too. The roster was offense heavy last year. I think initially it was 27 offense players to 23 defense.

Schrader was on the 53 but was usually not on the game-day 48. Williams, Corum and Rivers were on the 53, with Corum suffering a broken arm (I believe in the Seattle game). That was 4 RBs.

Parkinson, Long and Allen were on the 53 all year, with Higbee joining them late in the season but Kalinic was also part of the 53 for, at least, a portion of the Regular Season. So that was mostly 4 TEs.

Kupp, Nacua, Robinson, Atwell, Whittington, Johnson and Smith were on the 53 for most of the year. Although Kupp and Nacua each missed a little over one month. That was the 7 WRs.

Of course, none of that means anything for 2025.

If he proves to be dominate against top competition im sure the rams brass will see it. Hell limmer had a great rookie year by all accounts considering where he was drafted.
 
If Landman and Speights are the starters because they're better than we're in pretty good damn shape after watching Dolac and Paul. Thought they played very well. We are gonna be very deep and talented at our previous worst position. Get your popcorn folks, this shit is gonna be fun to watch

WTF - in the first place anyone wanting to go 12 personnel.

Davis Allen is NOT getting CUT!!

Some folks are living in a OZZY World still. Crazy Train.

The funniest thing is I saw something in Saturday’s game no one even reports & I’m thinking about all The STEVIE WONDER FANS & REPORTERS!!!

From what I saw & couldn’t from the Cowboys Scrimmage stood out the most.Maybe The NFL didn’t see it,plus another observation.

This Kool thing is that Zak ,Allen,& Wendell have done an outstanding job developing young talent.My Fear is they get claimed,which will be the most interesting thing.

I just see SO much talent,mainly on offense.Then again it’s against a very POOR DEFENSE!!!
